WAR ON DRUGS IS NEARSIGHTED

When I was young I lived in Bucks County, too young to know what was going
on, but I remember the beauty and am sorry to hear people are ruining the
state by refusing to end the war on drugs.

When I was young I lived in Bucks County, too young to know what was going
on, but I remember the beauty and am sorry to hear people are ruining the
state by refusing to end the WAR ON DRUGS, which is really a WAR on
AMERICANS. When did I lose my right to take whatever medicine relieves my
pain????? What has happened to this country??? PROHIBITION WILL NEVER WORK,
IT NEVER HAS AND IT NEVER WILL.

"The philosophical base of laws prohibiting substances lies in the
assumption that some substances are evil and can be the cause of evil. Even
though contrary to the teaching of Jesus, Mark 7:15-23, and to faith in
creation and grace, churches helped promote the idea that alcohol is evil,
that rum is Demon Rum. This provided a platform for saying that other
substances are evil and for supporting internationally a Chinese policy of
prohibiting opium. Christian apostasy wedded to Chinese politics have
created the international "War on Drugs," quoted from Forsaken Fountain
with The Right To Choose by Henry Boston. We go round and round, put people
in jail we cannot tolerate, because they are different than us.

I smoke cannabis because I hate alcohol and you are not going to tell me I
have no choice. I live in America and the last time I checked it was still
the land of the free and home of the brave, though arrogant politicians,
religious leaders and war mongers are giving it a bad name. Europeans and
South Americans write me asking me to tell our leaders to leave them alone
- - it is only by force and money that most of the globe goes along with US
policy - we are not well liked abroad and I had to go there last year to
see for myself that we are becoming FOOLS who can't see the forest for the
trees.

I pray that no one in your family ever needs the wonders of the cannabis
plant like Dr. Dan Shapiro, author of Mom's Marijuana. Dr. Shapiro works on
the staff of the University of Arizona and used marijuana after chemo
treatments to keep up his health by eating. Please keep your minds and
hearts open for your present narrow mindedness is hurting this country.
